Operation

Basic Operation

Once you have completed the setup and config- uration of the AVR 7000, it is simple to operate and enjoy. The following instructions should be followed for you to maximize your enjoyment of your new receiver:

•When using the AVR 7000 for the first time, you must press the Main Power Switch 1on the front panel to turn the unit on. This places the unit in a Standby mode, as indicated by the amber color of the Power Indicator 3. Once the unit is in Standby, you may begin a listening session by pressing the System Power Control 2on the front panel or the AVR Selector b. Note that the Power Indicator 3will turn green. This will turn the unit on and return it to the input source that was last used. The unit may also be turned on from Standby by pressing any of the Source Selector buttons on the remote lmn•or the Source button !on the front panel.

NOTE: After pressing CD, TAPE or DVD buttons

cto turn the unit on, press the AVR Selector bto have the remote control the AVR functions.

To turn the unit off at the end of a listening session, simply press the System Power Control 2 on the front panel or the Power Off Button dŒ on the remote. Power will be shut off to any equipment plugged into the rear panel Switched AC Outlets Ü and the Power Indicator 3 will turn amber.

When the remote is used to turn the unit “off” it is actually placing the system in a Standby mode, as indicated by the amber color of the Power Indicator 3.

•To program the AVR 7000 for automatic turn- off, press the Sleep Button 33 on the remote. Each press of the button will increase the time before shut down in the following sequence:

The sleep time will be displayed in the Preset

Number/Sleep Timer Indicator L and it

will count down until the time has elapsed.

When the programmed sleep time has elapsed, the unit will automatically turn off. Note that the front panel display will dim to one half brightness when the Sleep function is

programmed. To cancel the Sleep function, press and hold the Sleep Button 33 until the information display returns to

normal brightness and the Sleep indicator numbers disappear.

When you will be away from home for an extended period of time it is always a good idea to completely turn the unit off with the front panel Main Power Switch 1.

NOTE: All preset memories are lost if the unit is left turned off with the Main Power Switch

1for more than two weeks.

Source Selection

•To select a source, press any of the Source Selector buttons on the remote clm n•.

•The input source may also be changed by pressing the front-panel Input Source Selector button !. Each press of the button will move the input selection through the list of available inputs.

•The front-panel Video 4 Inputs $ may be used to connect a device such as a video game or camcorder to your home entertainment system on a temporary basis.

•As the input source is changed, the new input name will appear momentarily as an on-screen display in the lower third of the video display.

The input name will also appear in the Main Information Display W and a green LED will light next to the selected input’s name in the front-panel Input Indicators î.

•As the input is changed, the AVR 7000 will automatically switch to the digital input, sur- round mode, speaker configuration, output lev- els, crossover frequency and night mode status that were entered during the configuration process for that source.

•When an audio source is selected, the last video input used remains routed to the Video 1 Outputs h and Video Monitor Output e. This permits simultaneous viewing and listening to different sources.

•When a Video source is selected, the video sig- nal for that input will be routed to the Monitor Output jack e and will be viewable on a TV monitor connected to the AVR 7000. If a component video input is connected to the

DVD ¦ or Video 2 ¤ component inputs, it will be routed to the Component Video Output °. Make certain that your TV is set to the proper input to view the signal.

Volume Control

•Adjust the volume to a comfortable level using the front panel Volume Control * or remote Volume Up/Down 32 H buttons.

•When listening in the Stereo mode, with the surround circuits off, the Balance Control & may be used to adjust the relative sound output between the left front and right front speakers.

•To temporarily silence all speaker outputs press the Mute button f I. This will inter- rupt the output to all speakers and the head- phone jack, but it will not affect any recording or dubbing that may be in progress. When the system is muted, the MUTE indicator X will light in the Information Display ñ. Press the Mute button f I again to return to normal operation.

•During a listening session you may wish to adjust the Bass Control # and Treble Control ^ to suit your listening tastes or room acoustics.

•To set the output of the AVR 7000 so that the output is “flat,” with the tone controls de- activated, press the Tone Mode button 6 button once or twice so that the words Tone Out appear momentarily in the Main Information Display W. To return the tone controls to an active condition, press the Tone Mode 6 button once or twice so that the words Tone In momentarily appear in the Main Information Display W.

•For private listening, plug the 1/4" stereo phone plug from a pair of stereo headphones into the front panel Headphone Jack 4. Note that when the headphone’s plug is con- nected, the word HEADPHONE will scroll once across the Main Information Display

W and all speakers will be silenced. When the headphone plug is removed, the audio feed to the speakers will be restored.

Surround Mode Selection

One of the most important features of the AVR 7000 is its ability to reproduce a full multichannel surround sound field from digital sources, analog matrix surround encoded
